Very similar to Chardonnay from the same producer, vintage, appellation, but different production lotte tasted in June 2012. I do not know if the wines are identical, this one has just 0.5% higher alcohol but from description I would guess it was just different bottling time of the same wine.
Very nice how hot 2011 vintage was suitable for Chardonnay where all tropical tones shows very nicely.
